Use the Resource connections view to display the connections between resources.
The Resource Connections View displays a visual representation of the connections between program and transaction resources. The view is interactive. You can select a program or transaction and the connections related to that resource will be displayed in the Connections view.
In the screen image, the Resource Connections view displays the connections between programs and transactions, starting with program EQZ2REQH selected in the upper view. You can hover the mouse pointer over a connection line to display a tool tip which contains information about the call.
A program may be highlighted with an operation icon . For example, the program may be an initial program of a
transaction or it may have more than one incoming connection.
The operation icon indicates that you can modify the resource definition for this program using the CICS® SM editor. Right-click on the program and from the context menu, click Open CICS SM Editor. You must be connected to CICS SM to edit the program definition. When you click on a resource node or a connection, that element and its siblings are highlighted.
By default, only programs and transactions are displayed in the Resource Connections view. You can display other elements by selecting them in the Resource Filter. Click Show filters in the view toolbar and make your selection from the filter list.
The Resource Filter contains resource type names for CICS, DB2®, IMS™ and MQ resources.
By default, the diagram is displayed in a horizontal layout. For example:

vertical to make it easier to read. Click the Orientation tool on the view toolbar. Click Orientation again
to return to a horizontal diagram.
